Publisher's Synopsis
The rebellion of 1641 remains a potent memory in the Ulster Protestant community. In that year the Catholics who had been dispossessed by the Plantation of Ulster 30 years earlier launched themselves against their new Protestant masters in an attempt to recover what they had lost.;It was also, however, an act of pure vengeance. In the course of the rebellion, many atrocities were committed. Their scale was exaggerated by later writers for propaganda purposes, but there was no denying their basis in truth. This book looks at both the contemporary evidence and the later accounts to provide a survey of this critical historical event.
